Gift in a Jar: Cranberry Pecan Muffin Mix

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my Aunt will be contributing posts from time to time. She’s fantastic with homemade gifts so I asked her to share some of her favorites. Over the next few days, I’ll be posting several posts from her Gifts in a Jar – hopefully you’ll be inspired to make some of ‘em!

The following post is from Aunt Mary…

For all of the Gifts in a Jar, you will need a Jar of any type. Mason Jars work well, or an old food jar. The ideal size is at least a quart to make sure all the layers show.
